According to Sharlayan scholars, the horizontal stripes which mark the landscape east of the Velodyna River are evidence that the land once laid beneath the sea. The older layers are thought to have gradually risen above the surface, pushed upwards by immense pressures during the formation of Abalathia's Spine.

Landmarks

Schism

In a time out of mind, seeking to approach the sublimity of Rhalgr, a man began pummeling a mountain with his fists. After decades of nigh ceaseless striking, he succeeded in forming a great cavern in the mountain. This nameless soul is revered as the first monk of the Fist of Rhalgr, and the temple was later built here, within the hollow he had created.

The Circles of Answering

A training ground for monks, adherents would gatherer here when thunderstorms lashed the countryside with rain, wind, and lighting. Sitting in a circle and exposed to the elements, the monks would meditate on the truths proffered by the Destroyer - an experience said to have brought enlightenment to no few of Rhalgr's disciples.

Gyr Kehim

A monastery established some three centuries ago by Heimart, a high priest of the Fist of Rhalgr. In the ancient Mhachi language, the name means "one's mirage" - a reference to the arduous training that monks underwent to face their inner self in their quest to master both body and mind.
